Which set of directives are identified as the two Homeland Security Presidential Directives?

• A. National Preparedness and Public Health Preparedness
• B. Disaster Response and Community Resilience
• C. National Incident Management and Emergency Communications
• D. Management of Domestic Incidents and National Preparedness

Answer: (D)

This question tests recall of the official titles of the two Homeland Security Presidential Directives. The set that matches the two directives is Management of Domestic Incidents and National Preparedness, which correspond to HSPD-5 and HSPD-8.

Management of Domestic Incidents establishes the national approach to incident management, mandating a unified, standardized framework (like NIMS and ICS) so federal, state, local, tribal, and private-sector partners can coordinate effectively during any domestic crisis. National Preparedness focuses on building and sustaining national capabilities through planning, training, exercises, and resource management so all levels of government and relevant entities can operate together when responding to emergencies.

The other options don’t reflect the official titles of the two HSPDs, so they don’t identify the pair correctly.
